An amazing coalition of stakeholders support a long-term transportation bill, and their message to us is the same: #FixTheTrustFund — PolitiTweet.org

Now is the time to act. Gas prices this weekend will be lower than any Memorial Day in recent memory. #FixTheTrustFund — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The 18.3 cent federal gas tax we set in 1993 is now worth about a dime. The 24.3 cent diesel tax is worth about 15 cents. #FixTheTrustFund — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

It’s like taking a road trip and filling your car with gas one gallon at a time. It’s no way to run a country. #FixTheTrustFund — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Boxer and I have introduced a measure that we hope will lead to a long-term solution this summer. #FixTheTrustFund — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Short-term patches have been justified by saying we need just a little more time. But we've come no closer to a solution. #FixTheTrustFund — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The Framers of the Constitution had the sense say it is the role of the government to provide transportation systems. #FixTheTrustFund — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

You have to plan, fund, contract, and get permits for transportation projects. It takes years. #FixTheTrustFund — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Short-term extensions undermine governors and mayors around the country, preventing investments in critical projects. #FixTheTrustFund — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Since 2008, we haven’t had a transportation bill lasting more than 2 years. Some have lasted as little as a few days. #FixTheTrustFund — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Infrastructure is how we move people and goods, and it’s the key to an efficient and growing economy. #FixTheTrustFund — PolitiTweet.org

As a former governor, I've seen the impact that roads, bridges, and transit systems have on economic growth and success. #FixTheTrustFund — PolitiTweet.org

Abraham Lincoln once said that it is the role of government to do for the people what they cannot do for themselves. #FixTheTrustFund — PolitiTweet.org
